Referring to fig. 1 and 2, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a memory 10. Memory 10 may include a semiconductor structure 200. The memory 10 may further include a source layer SL coupled to the semiconductor structure 200, and a peripheral device 100 coupled to the semiconductor structure 200. The peripheral device 100 may be disposed on a side of the semiconductor structure 200 away from the source layer SL.
The material of the source layer SL may include a semiconductor material such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline germanium, a III-V compound semiconductor material, a II-VI compound semiconductor material, and other suitable semiconductor materials. The source layer SL may be partially or fully doped. Illustratively, the source layer SL may include a doped region doped with a p-type dopant.

Specifically, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the memory cell string 400 may include a plurality of transistors T, and one transistor T (e.g., T1 to T6 in fig. 4) may be provided as one memory cell, and the transistors T are connected together to form the memory cell string 400.

Further, along the third direction Z, a lowermost gate line of the gate lines G (e.g., a gate line closest to the source layer SL of the gate lines G) is configured as a source select gate SGS, and the source select gate SGS is configured to control the on-state of the transistor T6, and thus the on-state of the source channel in the memory cell string 400. The uppermost gate line among the plurality of gate lines G (e.g., the gate line farthest from the source layer SL among the plurality of gate lines G) is configured as a drain select gate SGD configured to control the on-state of the transistor T1, thereby controlling the on-state of the drain channel in the memory cell string 400. The gate line in the middle of the plurality of gate lines G may be configured as a plurality of word lines WL, including, for example, word line WL0, word line WL1, word line WL2, and word line WL 3. Writing, reading, and erasing of data to individual memory cells (e.g., transistors T) in the memory cell string 400 may be accomplished by writing different voltages on the word lines WL.
The memory 10 extends in an X-Y plane, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are, for example, two orthogonal directions in a plane (e.g., a plane in which the source layer SL is located) in which the semiconductor structure 200 is located: the first direction X is, for example, an extending direction of the word line WL, and the second direction Y is, for example, an extending direction of the bit line BL. The third direction Z is perpendicular to the plane of the semiconductor structure 200, i.e., perpendicular to the X-Y plane.
As used in this disclosure, whether a component (e.g., a layer, structure, or device) is "on," "above," or "below" another component (e.g., a layer, structure, or device) of a semiconductor device (e.g., a memory) is determined in a third direction Z relative to a substrate or a source layer of the semiconductor device when the substrate or the source layer is located in a lowest plane of the semiconductor device in the third direction Z. Throughout this disclosure, the same concepts are applied to describe spatial relationships.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the semiconductor structure 200 may further include an array interconnect layer 290. Array interconnect layer 290 may be coupled with memory cell string 400. The array interconnect layer 290 may include a drain terminal (i.e., a bit line BL) of the memory cell string 400, which may be coupled to a semiconductor channel of each transistor T in at least one memory cell string 400.
The array interconnect layer 290 may include one or more first interlayer insulating layers 292, and may further include a plurality of contacts insulated from each other by the first interlayer insulating layers 292, the contacts including, for example, bit line contacts BL-CNT coupled to the bit lines BL; a drain select gate contact SGD-CNT coupled to drain select gate SGD. The array interconnect layer 290 may also include one or more first interconnect conductor layers 291. The first interconnect conductor layer 291 may include a plurality of connection lines, such as bit lines BL, and word line connection lines WL-CL coupled to word lines WL. The material of the first interconnect conductor layer 291 and the contact may be a conductive material such as a combination of one or more of tungsten, cobalt, copper, aluminum, and metal silicide, and may be other suitable materials. The material of the first interlayer insulating layer 292 is an insulating material, such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and a combination of one or more of high-k insulating materials, and may be other suitable materials.
The peripheral device 100 may include peripheral circuitry. The peripheral circuitry is configured to control and sense the array device. The peripheral circuitry may be any suitable digital, analog, and/or mixed signal control and sensing circuitry for supporting array device operation (or working), including but not limited to page buffers, decoders (e.g., row and column decoders), sense amplifiers, drivers (e.g., word line drivers), charge pumps, current or voltage references, or any active or passive component of circuitry (e.g., transistors, diodes, resistors, or capacitors). The peripheral circuits may also include any other circuits compatible with advanced Logic processes, including Logic circuits (e.g., processors and Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) or Memory circuits (e.g., Static Random-Access memories (SRAMs)).
Specifically, in some embodiments, the peripheral device 100 may include a substrate 110, a transistor 120 disposed on the substrate 110, and a peripheral interconnect layer 130 disposed on the substrate 110. The peripheral circuitry may include a transistor 120.
The material of the substrate 110 may be monocrystalline silicon, or may be other suitable materials, such as silicon germanium, or a silicon-on-insulator thin film.
Peripheral interconnect layer 130 is coupled to transistor 120 to enable the transmission of electrical signals between transistor 120 and peripheral interconnect layer 130. The peripheral interconnection layer 130 may include one or more second interlayer insulating layers 131 and may further include one or more second interconnection conductor layers 132. Different second interconnect conductor layers 132 may be coupled to each other by contacts. The material of the second interconnect conductor layer 132 and the contacts may be a conductive material, such as a combination of one or more of tungsten, cobalt, copper, aluminum, and metal silicide, and may be other suitable materials. The material of the second interlayer insulating layer 131 is an insulating material, such as one or a combination of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and a high-k insulating material, and may be other suitable materials.
The peripheral interconnect layer 130 may be coupled with the array interconnect layer 290 such that the semiconductor structure 200 and the peripheral device 100 may be coupled. Specifically, since the peripheral interconnect layer 130 is coupled to the array interconnect layer 290, peripheral circuits in the peripheral device 100 may be coupled to the memory cell strings in the semiconductor structure 100 to enable transmission of electrical signals between the peripheral circuits and the memory cell strings. In some possible implementations, a bonding interface 500 may be disposed between the peripheral interconnection layer 130 and the array interconnection layer 290, and the peripheral interconnection layer 130 and the array interconnection layer 290 may be bonded and coupled to each other through the bonding interface 500.
To increase memory density, the size of memory 10 is smaller and smaller, as are the distances between the individual transistors T in the memory cell string 400. In this case, when the transistor T is programmed, threshold voltages of other transistors T adjacent to the transistor T being programmed in the same memory cell string 400 may increase due to electric field coupling, thereby affecting device performance.
Based on this, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 15, the semiconductor structure 200 includes a stack layer 210, a channel structure 220, and a plurality of second dielectric layers 230.
With reference to fig. 2 and fig. 15, the stack layer 210 may be disposed on the source layer SL, that is, the stack layer 210 is located on one side of the thickness direction of the source layer SL (i.e., the third direction Z in fig. 2). The stack layer 210 includes a plurality of first dielectric layers 211 and a plurality of gate layers 212, and the first dielectric layers 211 and the gate layers 212 are alternately stacked in the third direction Z (see fig. 1).
It should be noted that the material of the first dielectric layer 211 may include an insulating material, and the insulating material includes at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, doped silicon oxide, organosilicate glass, dielectric metal oxide (e.g., aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, etc.) and silicate thereof, and an organic insulating material.
The gate layer 212 may include a conductor layer 2121, and the material of the conductor layer 2121 may include a conductive material, such as at least one of tungsten, cobalt, copper, aluminum, doped silicon, and silicide.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 15, the gate layer 212 may further include a metal compound layer 2122, the metal compound layer 2122 being located between the conductor layer 2121, the channel structure 40 and the first dielectric layer 211, the metal compound layer 2122 being configured as an adhesion layer to improve adhesion between the conductor layer 2121 and the first dielectric layer 211. Wherein the material of the metal compound layer 2122 includes at least one of titanium nitride, tantalum nitride, and tungsten carbide.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 15, the gate layer 212 may further include a high dielectric constant layer 2123, the high dielectric constant layer 2123 being located between the metal compound layer 2122, the channel structure 40 and the first dielectric layer 211 to reduce the risk of charges in the channel structure 40 flowing to the conductor layer 2121. Wherein the high-k layer 323 has a dielectric constant value greater than or equal to 7. Illustratively, the material of the high dielectric constant layer 323 includes at least one of aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, and tantalum oxide.
In some embodiments, the stack layer 210 is in contact with the source layer SL. In other embodiments, other functional layers are disposed between the stack layer 210 and the source layer SL. For example, a semiconductor layer 281 and a third dielectric layer 282 are further disposed between the stack layer 210 and the source layer SL, the semiconductor layer 281 is in contact with the stack layer 210, and the third dielectric layer 282 is in contact with the source layer SL. The layer of the stack 210 closest to the source layer SL may be the first dielectric layer 211.
Note that the material of the semiconductor layer 281 includes a semiconductor material such as single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, single crystal germanium, a group III-V compound semiconductor material, a group II-VI compound semiconductor material, and other suitable semiconductor materials. The material of the third dielectric layer 282 includes an insulating material, which may include at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, doped silicon oxide, organosilicate glass, dielectric metal oxides (e.g., aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, etc.) and silicates thereof, and organic insulating materials.
The number of layers of the stacked layer 210 is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, the number of layers of the stacked layer 210 may be 8, 64, 128, and the like. It is understood that the greater the number of layers of the stacked layers 210, the higher the integration, the greater the number of transistors T in the memory cell string 400 formed therefrom.
As shown in fig. 15, channel structure 220 extends through stack 210. In the case that the stack layer 210 may be disposed on the source layer SL, and the semiconductor layer 281 and the third dielectric layer 282 are further disposed between the stack layer 210 and the source layer SL, the channel structure 220 further penetrates the semiconductor layer 281 and the third dielectric layer 282, so that the channel structure 220 may be coupled to the source layer SL.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 15, the channel structure 220 includes a memory function layer 221 and a semiconductor channel layer 222, one side of the memory function layer 221 is in contact with the first dielectric layer 211 and the side of the gate line layer 212, and the other side is in contact with the semiconductor channel layer 222; that is, the memory function layer 221 is located between the semiconductor channel layer 222 and the first dielectric layer 211 and the gate line layer 212.
Note that the material of the semiconductor channel layer 222 includes a semiconductor material such as single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, single crystal germanium, a group III-V compound semiconductor material, a group II-VI compound semiconductor material, and other suitable semiconductor materials.
The memory function layer 221 includes a blocking layer 2211, a charge trapping layer 2212 and a tunneling layer 2213, and the materials of the blocking layer 2211, the charge trapping layer 2212, the tunneling layer 2213 and the semiconductor channel layer 222 may be silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxide and polysilicon, respectively, so as to form a "SONO" structure.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 15, the channel structure 220 further includes a channel filling layer 223, and the channel filling layer 223 is disposed on a side of the semiconductor channel layer 222 away from the storage function layer 221 to provide a mechanical supporting function. It should be noted that the material of the trench filling layer 223 includes an insulating material, and the insulating material may include at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, doped silicon oxide, organosilicate glass, dielectric metal oxide (e.g., aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, etc.) and silicate thereof, and an organic insulating material.
Wherein the first dielectric layer 211 is recessed near the edge of the channel structure 220, and the second dielectric layer 230 is located between the first dielectric layer 211 and the channel structure 220, and the second dielectric layer 230 is located between two adjacent gate electrode 212 layers along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the stack layer 210 (i.e. the Z direction in fig. 1), compared to the gate electrode layer 212 recessed near the edge of the channel structure 220. The dielectric constant of the second dielectric layer 230 is less than the dielectric constant of the first dielectric layer 211.
Based on this, the first dielectric layer 211 and the second dielectric layer 230 may be made of different materials, respectively. That is, the first dielectric layer 211 and the second dielectric layer 230 can be made of suitable materials according to their respective design requirements, and thus the cost is low.
For example, the first dielectric layer 211 may be made of a material with a large elastic modulus to support the stacked layer 210. The first dielectric layer 211 does not need to consider whether the dielectric constant of the material is too high; in this way, the first dielectric layer 211 can be made of a wide variety of materials at a low cost. The second dielectric layer 230 may be made of a material with a low dielectric constant to reduce the electric field coupling between the transistors T in the same memory cell string 400, thereby improving the device performance. The second dielectric layer 230 does not need to consider whether the elastic modulus of the material is too low; in this way, the second dielectric layer 230 may be made of a wider variety of materials and at a lower cost.
For example, the dielectric constant of the second dielectric layer 230 is less than or equal to 3. Specifically, the material of the second dielectric layer 230 may include any one of carbon-doped silicon hydroxide and fluorine-doped silicon oxide. At this time, the second dielectric layer 230 has a smaller elastic modulus than the first dielectric layer 211.
For example, the elastic modulus of the first dielectric layer 211 is greater than the elastic modulus of the second dielectric layer 230, so as to improve the structural stability of the stacked layer 210 and reduce the risk of the stacked layer 210 falling. The elastic modulus of the first dielectric layer 211 may be 70GPa to 100 GPa. Specifically, the material of the first dielectric layer 211 may be silicon dioxide. At this time, the dielectric constant of the first dielectric layer 211 was 3.9.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 15, one side of the second dielectric layer 230 is in contact with the first dielectric layer 211 and the other side is in contact with the channel structure 220. That is, the second dielectric layer 230 fills the gap between the first dielectric layer 211 and the channel structure 22, so as to avoid the problem of short circuit between the gate layers 212 of different layers during the process of manufacturing the semiconductor structure 200, particularly during the process of replacing the gate layers 212.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 15, the second dielectric layer 230 is far from the boundary of the first dielectric layer 211 and is flush with the boundary of the gate layer 212 close to the channel structure 220, so that the second dielectric layers 230 with lower dielectric constants are disposed between the edge portions of the different gate layers 212 close to the channel structure 220, thereby reducing the effect of electric field coupling between the transistors T in the same memory cell string 400 as much as possible and improving the device performance.
The distance between the second dielectric layer 230 close to the boundary of the first dielectric layer 211 and the boundary of the second dielectric layer 230 far from the first dielectric layer 211 is 0.5nm to 5nm, that is, the length of the second dielectric layer 230 along the X direction in fig. 15 ranges from 0.5nm to 5 nm; this may avoid the risk of stack layer 210 toppling over due to the oversized second dielectric layer 230; and, the problem that the electric field coupling between the transistors T in the same memory cell string 400 cannot be reduced to a predetermined level due to the undersize of the second dielectric layer 230 is avoided. Illustratively, the second dielectric layer 230 is close to the boundary of the first dielectric layer 211 at any one of a distance of 0.5nm, 1nm, 2nm, 3nm, 4nm, and 5nm from the boundary of the second dielectric layer 230 away from the first dielectric layer 211.

The gate line isolation structure 240 includes an insulating isolation portion 241, and the insulating isolation portion 241 is in contact with the first dielectric layer 211 and the side surface of the gate line layer 212.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 15, the gate line isolation structure 240 may further include a gate line filling layer 242. The insulating isolation portion 241 is in contact with the first dielectric layer 211 and the side surface of the gate line layer 212, a cavity is left inside the insulating isolation portion 241, and the gate line filling layer 242 fills the cavity to provide a mechanical support effect. It should be noted that the material of the gate line filling layer 242 may be a conductive material, and may also be an insulating material, which is not specifically limited herein.

It is noted that the dummy channel structure 250 may include an insulating material, such as one or a combination of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and a high-k insulating material, or other suitable materials.
